Xamarin app crashes when using VB.Net Now() or Today()

I have an object Shift with a property DateAndTime as Date. When I try to set this property using Now() the VS debugger pops up an error

System.TypeLoadException: 'Could not resolve type with token 0100006b from typeref (expected class 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.DateAndTime' in assembly 'Microsoft.VisualBasic, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a')'

If I hard code a date e.g. #2022-12-25 3:10 PM# all is fine. What does Xamarin expect?

You shouldn't really be using those in any VB code, never mind a Xamarin app. Don't use VB Runtime functions (methods from modules in the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace) when there are equivalent or better options that are not VB-specific. In this case, use the Date.Now and Date.Today properties, exactly as any C# developer would.

Note that Date is a VB data type that maps to the .NET DateTime structure. You can use either in your code but, if you use Integer rather than Int32 then you should be using Date rather than DateTime too.
